Reader's Question―UK to Limoges

Will Dawes writes:

I am thinking about flying to Limoges from Shoreham in the UK possibly for my CPL qualifier, in possibly a DA40 or PA28. I have seen on your blog that you’ve flown from Limoges to the UK in the DA40; can I ask how long this took and if you have any advice for preparation for such flying in France?

I’m just completing my ATPL groundschool with a few hours yet to build.

Reader's Question―French ULM Information

Paul Madden writes:

I have written to many French ULM sources trying to find information about a French ULM from the late '90s called the Caprice 21. I have attached a photo of the aircraft (from Tagazous), and following is a link to a YouTube video of the aircraft (you have to go to the end to see the aircraft from a distance):

 

I have seen " for sale" advertisements for the aircraft in various French magazines dating back to the early 2000s. I think quite a few were manufactured, some powered by the R582 and others by the R912. From the YouTube video, I know where at least one is based - in south-west France. I wrote to the aeroclub at the airfield without getting a response. The French national ULM association was of no help either.
Anybody know anything about this aircraft?
